The small-scaled burrowing asp is a black snake that lives underground in parts of West Africa. It is a venomous snake with long, hollow fangs, and scientists have studied it only a few times in the wild. It is interesting because it uses its fangs in an unusual way.1

Hula nini?
Its diet is not well studied. Snakes of its genus have been found with small rodents, birds, lizards, frogs, locusts and white ants in their stomachs or mouths. It stabs prey from the side, often underground, using one fang.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Black in colour, with a lighter, flatter belly than its back1
  • Smooth body scales1
  • Flattened head with a blunt snout, covered in plates rather than small scales1
  • Short tail and a neck that is not well defined1
  • Average length about 45 cm, with some reaching 75 cm1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It is often confused with vipers (family Viperidae) because its long, hollow fangs look similar. Its head is covered in plates, while vipers have small scales on the head.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom is thick and slightly milky in appearance. It appears to be related to elapid venom rather than viper venom. In humans, the bite may first cause pain near the bite, followed by numbness and swelling in the same area.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.

Its venom is not considered very lethal to humans. However, there have been deaths, mainly among younger children.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

It sits still with its nose pointing towards the ground, as if ready to dive into the soil, though this has been seen only a few times.1

Akiuma

  • Osha jeraha, mweke mtu mtulivu na utafute msaada wa kitabibu. Baadhi ya spishi (kama boomslang) zinaweza kuua saa kadhaa baadaye.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

  • Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
  • Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
  • Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

1

It has long, hollow fangs, but usually uses only one of them to stab its prey.1

2

When given several mice, it envenomated all of them before going back to eat them.1

3

Most of its prey burrows, so many of its strikes happen underground, where there is little room to move.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: It is a viper, because it has long hollow fangs like vipers.

Ukweli: It is not closely related to vipers. Its fangs are similar, but it is more closely related to the families Colubridae and Elapidae, and its venom is unlike viper venom.1
